Yes please - though I should be concentrating on the league.
I expect some of those teams at the top to field weaker sides than normal so there is every chance for the underdog.

Now how come I'm against Walmley Villa again?
Is this a fix I ask myself.
Still, at least I'm at home and maybe WVilla will play a weakened team a la Man Utd!

A potential 'banana skin' for me.

Thank you Peter, i must admit, i saw the empty seats there and thought you had beat me. There was never over 60k in the ground. All i can think of, that game was included in the season ticket package, so they must have included those figures in the attendance, but id say there was less the 55k in the ground tbh.

Hi. Rotterdam.
I'm assuming, in view of your name, that you're of a certain age and that, like me, you went to Rotterdam?
Looking forward to the final which is a few weeks away yet, although I notice that we don't actually play West Brom until Saturday 28th April. I think Jon (DMF) has got confused in the excitement of yesterday's game! I'll PM him to clarify.
Cheers.
Brian.
-
All sorted now. By the way, the Albion game was chosen so that we have the option of Norwich away as a replay if necessary.
-
I'm looking forward to it as well BC5.
It will be a great day out for all the GTC fans.
Good luck Rotterdam. Will be shouting for you in the final.
-
Good luck to both of you and congratulations for making the final...well played in the semi Brian btw. :-)
-
Can the finalists keep their eye on this. Don't bank on me sending a reminder as I am likely to forget. We can't have a walkover in the final.

Commiserations, Rotterdam; a closely contested competition and final. I think the fans around me on the Smethwick End thought I was mad when I cheered the announcement of the attendance!
Jon, many thanks indeed for organising this, and particularly for the reminders. I look forward to defending my trophy next season and might even enter the league.
Cheers all.
